Electric car incentives from governments

In 12 states and three Canadian provinces very generous incentives now make the purchase price of an electric car more or less the same as buying a new gas powered car. This means you can help the environment and save a couple thousand dollars each year on fuel, without paying an up front premium. In Ontario get up to $14,000 off the car purchase, up to $1000 for a fast Level 2 charger at home, and up to $7500 for employee chargers at your place of business. Elsewhere the incentives are lower but still generous. The car purchase incentive in Quebec is up to $8000, and in BC up to $6000. In the USA a federal tax credit up to $7500 on the car purchase, plus a few thousand or hundreds more from state governments in a dozens states. For more information click above on Incentives.
